Bigger Leftist Intarweb Schlong:In before the Fark Misogyny Brigade to tell how us how she was totally asking for it for riding on a bus like that, and that women are all just lying whores anyway.

This whole story just makes me sick. I'm sad she died. I was pulling for her to make it.

It's going to be a hard sell for the misogynists to spin this one. She was on a bus with a male friend, strangers went after her, male friend tried to get them away and they assaulted him. She gets gang raped over the course of several miles on the bus, then she and male friend are dumped bloody and naked from the vehicle.

heap:not that any of it makes sense, but i can't help but wonder....who in the hell looks in the rear view mirror, sees iron-rod-gang-rape, and just keeps driving?

hell, even Ms Crabtree would have tried the 'stop raping her, or i kill this cow' routine.

Either the driver didn't care, or he saw the other guy on the bus get nearly beaten to death for trying to intervene and decided to keep his mouth shut. Now why he wouldn't pull up in front of a police station and get help, that I can't answer.

moralpanic:WTF? What's with all the gang rapes happening in India the last few weeks?

They are top heavy with men. In many Asian societies having a daughter is not preferred. Now, after a couple generations, the chickens are coming home to roost, so to speak, and it's a yard full of cocks. The religious (and/or political) repression, the grinding poverty and the lack of possibility of marriage and sexual release are factors these governments may not survive.

Gang rapes and the abuse of women has been going on for a long time in India. It only gained attention internationally in the past couple of weeks due to all of the protests. Generally women are treated as second class citizens in India and the police refuse to take reports when they claim to have been raped (as happened in this case).

"Those who are coming in the name of students in the rallies, sundori, sundori mahila (beautiful women), are highly dented and painted," Abhijit Mukherjee, an MP from Jangipur seat which the President had vacated before his election, told a vernacular news channel.

"Giving interviews in TV and showing off their children. I wonder whether they are students at all," he said, adding, "what's basically happening in Delhi is something like pink revolution, which has very little connection with ground realities."

Why are there so many people trolling this thread. Someone dies and the troll force gets stronger? Yeah, I know welcome to Fark. I guess I'm just lucky people aren't talking about her being a murderer if she had gotten pregnant then died before giving birth to her rape baby or something stupid like that.

The bus driver should get the worst punishment. How do you just keep driving around for an hour while someone on your bus gets raped and beaten with an iron bar? Do buses in Delhi not have radios that can be used to phone authorities? Are there no police stations nearby that you can drive to? The whole thing is just messed up.

And he could stand to look in a mirror if he follows any religion himself.

This. Christians do it in central Africa, Ireland and central/South America, Muslims do it in the Middle East, Hindus do it in India.

Religion has been used to oppress, rape, murder and steal all over the world. If one pretends only Muslims do it, one might as well carry a bright, flashing sign saying "BIGOTED IDIOT" around their neck.

gblive:In press they stated that the attack occurred after everyone else left the bus - leaving the gang and the female & male victim.

In press in India, they often state that the Chief Minister did not receive 13 suitcases full of money before voting on a bill to transfer small shareholdings from the impoverished people to a large corporation run by his friends and supporters.

I thought the driver raped her, too?

From what I heard on NPR (this could be old/misremembered, I didn't like listening to the story for long so I switched off a lot of the analysis) the driver kept driving, and the rape took place over tens of miles (at least 20 and change) while he was doing so.
